CalcuQuote now reads and shares inventory master data with Manex through an application programming interface. Automatically ties bills of material (BoM) to their corresponding Manex part number, for easy viewing of part description, alternate part suggestions, Manex part number, standard cost, target price, part classification, and more.

XF-784, a 1 mil matte antistatic, barcode tracking label material, is said to enhance print receptivity and the capability to withstand harsh fluxes and cleaning chemistry found in PCB manufacturing. Shows improved performance over the gloss coatings when exposed to a non-reflow environment prior to cleaning. Reduce charge generated on adhesive when label is removed from liner. Provides peel voltages of less than 100V per inch square. Designed to prevent significant charge buildup on the label surface, which can result in a static discharge event. Label surface resistance between 1.0 x 108 and 1.0 x 1011 ohms.

IW1 S151 EMS is a flexible mini-wave system based on the IW1 induction slot pump system. Nozzle receptacle is made of coated V4A and has an integrated selective shielding gas guide; shielding gas shroud lies against solder wave. Assemblies are submerged by lowering into the continually flowing solder. Solder reportedly flows in an endless loop protected from oxidation by nitrogen. Input area and part handling around the machine can be ergonomically designed. Two soldering frames are always in use; one of the frames is processed in the machine, while the second is in preparation. Solder frame is fixed to a rail, inserted into the machine, or on a turntable input manually or automatically populated. Assembly is provided with flux before soldering process begins. Flux is applied via an injection nozzle that applies flux points of 1.5mm to 3mm diameter. Can populate second solder frame with assemblies while components are being soldered. Both solder frames are exchanged in a single step. Linear axis handler receives solder frames and positions them within the machine. Solder nozzle can be replaced quickly. Point, line and matrix nozzles are available.
